Summer Skin Needs Your Attention

Theresa Phillips Formulator and Found of Redeem And Renew Beauty has passed 65 Years old... And, She is not retiring.

Summer is here, and we are absolutely loving the opportunity to spend more time outside, soaking in the warmth and beauty of the season.

The gardens are in full bloom, showcasing vibrant colors and fragrant flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Among the essential items we keep in our outdoor spaces, a wide-brimmed hat stands out as a must-have accessory. I wear mine all the time, not just for style, but for the crucial protection it provides against the sun's harsh rays.

The right hat can make a significant difference in keeping your face and neck shaded, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors without the worry of sunburn.

For those who are passionate about water activities, whether it’s swimming, kayaking, or lounging by the pool, it's vital to have great protection from the sun's reflection off the water.

The shimmering surface can amplify the sun's rays, increasing the risk of sunburn, especially in areas where you might not be paying attention. It’s easy to forget about applying sunscreen when you’re having fun, but the consequences can be painful and long-lasting.

Always remember to use a broad-spectrum sunblock with a high SPF, applying it generously and reapplying every couple of hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Another important tidbit to consider this summer is the footwear you choose to wear. It has been recently reported about the dangers associated with wearing flip-flops, which may seem like the perfect summer footwear but can pose various risks to your feet.

While they are convenient and easy to slip on, flip-flops often lack the support and protection that our feet need. They can lead to misalignment, discomfort, and even injuries due to their flat design and lack of cushioning. For more information on this topic, you can read about it here.

As we enjoy the sunny days, please be mindful of your feet during the summer months. The pavement can become extremely hot, especially during peak sun hours, and walking barefoot can lead to painful burns. It’s important to choose appropriate footwear that provides both comfort and protection. Additionally, lying on a raft or lounging by the pool without sunblock can also lead to burns on your feet, so always be cautious and ensure that every exposed area is covered with sunscreen.

Furthermore, we often overlook our hands during the summer, but they can show signs of aging just like any other part of our body. I’ve noticed that my hands have aged a lot, and I’m actively working on that by using moisturizing creams and treatments to keep them looking youthful.

It’s easy to forget that our hands are exposed to the sun as much as our faces, so applying sunscreen to them is just as crucial.

Another aspect to consider during this season is our diet, particularly our salt intake. Yes, we all tend to indulge a bit more during summer barbecues and beach outings, but it’s essential to remember to balance that with proper hydration.

Excessive salt can lead to dehydration, especially in the heat. Therefore, it’s a good idea to take in some electrolytes to help replenish what our bodies lose through sweat and to maintain optimal hydration levels.

Here are some products I use much more in the summer to help me stay protected and comfortable.

From high-SPF sunscreens to hydrating lotions and supportive sandals, these items make a significant difference in how I enjoy the season. Keeping my skin healthy and my feet happy allows me to fully embrace the joys of summer without the worry of discomfort or sun damage.

Enjoy the season Have Fund and Love Your Skin

Gracefully
